Just when the Yellow Turban Army was slowly moving towards Fenggao City, a big battle broke out in Linzi City, Qingzhou, in the northeast.

In fact, this is not a big war, because it is a completely one-sided battle.

Under the encirclement of more than 50,000 troops with 48,000 infantry soldiers and 3,000 hussars and guards, all the 100,000 Yellow Turban troops who stayed to besiege Linzi City became prisoners of the Northern Xinjiang army, and not even a single one escaped.

In order to achieve this goal, the Northern Xinjiang Army made careful arrangements. First of all, Tai Shici led 3,000 hussars to guard the iron cavalry, and repeatedly strangled the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army within a hundred miles around Linzi City. After ensuring that none of the scouts slipped through the net, the 48,000 northern infantry soldiers launched an operation, encircling the Yellow Turban Army from four directions, and finally launched a general attack together.

It was also the Yellow Turban Army that stayed to besiege Linzi City that was too careless, in their minds, there was no longer a force that could threaten them in the land of Qingzhou today. Even the northern cavalry that raided Duchang City would never dare to come.

After all, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army that stayed to besiege Linzi City was far from being comparable to Guan Hai of Duchang City at the beginning. There are 100,000 troops here, and if you add the old, weak, sick and disabled who remain, it reaches 300,000.

Three thousand cavalry, in the face of such a large army, there is no threat at all.

As for Liu Yu, who was besieged in the city, he had been ignored by the generals of the Yellow Turban Army. Although there are still 30,000 troops and 100,000 people in Linzi City today, in the past year, Liu Yu has been frightened by the Yellow Turban Army and does not dare to leave the city at all.

At the beginning of Liu Yu's arrival in Qingzhou, he was also ambitious, leading the troops of various counties and states to fight the Yellow Turban Army everywhere, wanting to exterminate the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.

However, reality taught him the truth of being a human being again. At the beginning of this year, they made a comprehensive counterattack, occupying nearly the entire Qingzhou, and dividing and encircling the counties and states of Qingzhou in their respective administrative offices. And Liu Yu, the great Sima and Qingzhou pastor, was no exception, and was surrounded by an army of 500,000 led by Sima Ju in Linzi City.

If it weren't for the fact that Linzi City was strong enough, and the troops in the city were quite strong, and the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army was indeed not flattering, I am afraid that Liu Yu would have become a prisoner of the Yellow Turban Army a long time ago.

After half a year, he was once full of spirits. Liu Yu, who wants to do a great job in Qingzhou, has long since lost the demeanor when he first arrived in Qingzhou. Even if he knew that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city had left Linzi City and went to attack Mount Tai, Liu Yu still did not dare to send troops out of the city.

It was not until the Northern Xinjiang army came to Linzi City and defeated and captured all the Yellow Turban Army that he sent an envoy out of the city to contact the Northern Xinjiang Army.

When he was in Ganling City, Jizhou, Zhang Fei was a little unaccustomed to Liu Yu, who had a celebrity demeanor, if it weren't for Li Yi's relationship. He didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Yu. Now, Liu Yu is besieged in Linzi City and does not dare to move, which makes Zhang Fei look down on him. So, for the messenger sent by Liu Yu. Naturally, he didn't give any good looks, and after a little coping, he sent him away.

Now he's busy. Not only did he have to send people to escort the captured Yellow Turban Army, but he also had to lead a large army. Go to capture Laiwu City and cut off the retreat of the Yellow Turban Army. This is an important action related to this big victory, and Zhang Fei does not dare to slack off at all.

From Linzi City to Laiwu City. It's a hundred miles away. If it were to be replaced by other troops, it would take at least two days to arrive. At the beginning, the Yellow Turban Army set off from Linzi City and went to Laiwu, which took three full days. However, at the feet of the Northern Xinjiang army, this 100-mile journey was only one day. This is also because the Northern Xinjiang army has a large number of important transportation, mainly heavy ballistae for chariot troops, as well as siege equipment.

As a result, when the defenders of the Yellow Turban Army in Laiwu City were completely defenseless, the Northern Xinjiang army had already approached the city and soon launched a fierce attack.

Under the siege of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, 3,000 defenders defended Laiwu City, which took the initiative to evacuate after five days, and now there are 20,000 Yellow Turban Army defending, but they did not resist for a day. The Northern Frontier army launched a siege at dawn, and before sunset, the army had already captured the city.

………………

The sky is densely covered with thick clouds, covering the stars and moons, the sky and the earth are dark, only inside and outside the ancient city of Fenggao, there are bright lights, in the dark night, it is extremely eye-catching.

Torches were lit at the head of the city to prevent the besiegers from sneaking up. In siege warfare, both the attacking and defending sides have their own advantages, the biggest advantage of the defending side is the geographical advantage, and the attacking side is the initiative. Launching a sneak attack when the defenders are unprepared or tired is one of the best tricks to siege the city, and for the Yellow Turban Army, which has limited ability to attack, it is a famous stunt that the defenders have to defend.

And the torches around the company camp are also to prevent sneak attacks. Many people know that the hussar generals are the best at night attacks, and the Yellow Turban Army naturally does not dare to slack off. Even though the night was already very deep, nearly three o'clock, the walls of the Yellow Turban Army camp were still full of people, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the guards kept patrolling back and forth, widening their eyes and pricking up their ears, vigilantly observing the darkness not far away, as if something terrible would jump out at any time.

"I said Wang Er, the black light is blind, what are you looking at with your neck? Do you think Li Yi is a fool? Do you dare to come when you see this formation? Sima Dashuai's posture, let alone people, can even be stopped by flies, in my opinion, it is purely redundant. ”

"Better be careful, okay? What if someone does sneak up on you? Aren't you worried at all, Bai Laosan? ”

"Sneak attack?" The Yellow Turban soldier who spoke before smiled, looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention, leaned the bamboo gun in his hand against the wall, sat cross-legged in a dark place sheltered from the wind, sighed comfortably, and asked rhetorically, "Wang Laoer, you should tell me, how can Li Yi sneak attack in order to defeat the million-strong army here with thousands of people?" ”

"Where do I know, if I knew, I would be a hussar general, not what I am now." Wang Lao Er replied with a pout.

"You're a strong word! With the solidity of our camp, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an iron wall. Not to mention that the army launched a night attack, even a moth could not fly in. Bai Laosan continued, "The commanders have learned the lesson of Duchang City, our battalion seems to be one, but in fact it is one piece, each family has its own territory, and the elite and ordinary soldiers are also separated......

After Guan Hai and his minions were put back, under the questioning of the Yellow Turban generals, they described the process of the Battle of Duchang in detail for everyone to summarize the lessons and analyze the gains and losses.

They found that this battle was not without a turning point, and if Guan Hai had gathered a little more elite and was a little more prepared, he might be able to turn the tide.

Therefore, they abandoned the previous practice of mixing veterans and new recruits, and instead set up their own camps, including the elite and the new recruits. If Li Yi repeats his old tricks, the first to bear the surprise attack will be the recruits with relatively poor combat effectiveness, and the veterans can take the opportunity to prepare for a counterattack.

Although the equipment and combat skills of the recruits are very poor, their fighting spirit and morale are very strong, and even if there are only a few veteran leaders, they will not collapse like those under Duchang City.

As long as they don't collapse at the first touch, the surprise attack of the Northern Frontier Army will be useless, and after the momentum of the raid passes, thousands of men and horses will soon fall into the encirclement of a million troops, and it will be difficult not to die.

"So, it's better if he comes to raid, seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, let's finish the fight early, let's go into the city to rest, right?" In the end, Bai Laosan concluded.

"Yes, finish the fight early, and take my mother and sister to the city to enjoy the blessings." Wang Laoer's eyes lit up, as bright as the starlight that the dark clouds had dispersed and revealed.

He began to join the rebel team because he had no food to eat, and the big leader had no faith, it was nothing more than robbing big households, robbing the official warehouse when he had the opportunity, and if he grabbed something, he would have food to eat, and if he couldn't grab it, he would starve.

Later, the great leader was killed in battle, and he joined another rebel group with his brothers, doing the same thing as before, but with a different slogan. This time, he became the Yellow Turban Army, and the new leader said that he would lead everyone to create a peaceful world and a bright future.

What exactly is the Qingping Shidao? To be honest, Wang Lao Er didn't know very well, according to the description of the leaders, it seemed to be a world where everyone had food to eat and farm, which sounded very beautiful, like a dream.

So, in order to realize this dream, or to live, he threw himself into the battle with even greater enthusiasm.

However, the situation has not changed much, or it is worse than before. In the past, there were few thieves and many people, as long as you fought hard, there would always be enough harvest after the war, so that the family could be fed; But with the expansion of the team and the increase of the leaders, Qingzhou is full of smoke, and the harvest of looting is getting less and less.

The dream of Qingping Shidao seems to be getting farther and farther away.

Just when Wang Lao Er was thinking about these in his heart, a fast horse galloped from the northeast, and immediately a scout of the Yellow Turban Army with a yellow turban on his head shouted: "Urgent report, the Northern Xinjiang Army has attacked Laiwu City and cut off the rear road of the army!" ”

The scout's shouts rang out in the still, dark night sky, causing a commotion on the wall, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Especially the content of the scout's words, all the Yellow Turban soldiers were frightened after hearing it, and at the same time they were full of doubts: Now that the Northern Xinjiang Army is in Fenggaocheng, even Gongsun Zhan's men and horses are also stationed in Mu County, where did the soldiers and horses come from to attack Laiwu City and capture Laiwu City? You must know that there are 20,000 elite troops stationed in Laiwu City! (To be continued.) )
